Our consultative model ensures that every candidate we present is a strategic match, ready to contribute from day one.

CPO / CHRO Recruitment FAQs
Hiring an executive for a people-focused role is a significant decision. We’ve compiled answers to some of the most common questions we receive to provide clarity and confidence as you consider your next strategic hire.
Q1. What is the difference between a Chief Human Capital Officer and a Chief Peoples Officer?
A1: While the titles are often used interchangeably, a Chief Human Capital Officer typically has a more traditional focus on strategic HR functions, including compensation, benefits, and compliance. A Chief Peoples Officer often takes a more modern, holistic approach, emphasizing culture, employee experience, and engagement. Our process is designed to help you determine which leader best fits your organization’s specific needs.
Q2. How long does a typical executive hiring for a CHRO/CPO take?
A2: The timeline for an executive recruiting can vary depending on the complexity of the role and market conditions. A comprehensive and effective recruitment process, from initial discovery to candidate placement, typically takes between 10 to 14 weeks. We prioritize quality over speed to ensure the best possible long-term fit for your company.
Q3. Why should we use an executive search firm instead of recruiting in-house?
A3: CHRO Executive recruiters provide access to a wider pool of top-tier, passive candidates who are not actively looking for a new role. We also offer specialized industry knowledge, a confidential search process, and a proven methodology that saves your internal team significant time and resources. This minimizes the risk of a bad hire, which can be a costly mistake.
Q4. What does your fee structure look like?
A4: Our fee structure is based on a retained search model, which ensures our complete dedication to your recruitment needs. The fee is a percentage of the executive’s first-year compensation and is broken into installments tied to key milestones in the hiring process. This model aligns our success directly with yours.
Q5. How do you ensure a candidate is a good cultural fit for our company?
A5: Cultural fit is a core component of our recruiting process. Beyond assessing skills and experience, we conduct in-depth behavioral interviews and assessments to understand a candidate’s leadership style, values, and motivations. We also work with your team to define and measure what “cultural fit” means for your specific organization, ensuring we find a leader who will not only succeed but also enhance your company’s unique culture.
